Correct answer: techniques

Explanation: Here you hear "very advanced techniques for electron". You need more than one, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "techniques" means methods or ways of doing something.

Wrong options:

  • tehniques: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "techniques". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • technique: "technique" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "techniques", so write the "s".
Correct answer: types

Explanation: The speaker says "different cell types and we". After "cell" you need a word for more than one kind, so add s.

Meaning: "types" means kinds or groups.

Wrong options:

  • type: "type" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "types", so write the "s".
Correct answer: tissues

Explanation: You hear "infect other tissues". After "other" you need a word for body parts and more than one, so it ends in s.

Meaning: "tissues" means parts of the body made of cells.

Wrong options:

  • tissue: "tissue" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "tissues", so write the "s".
